Forums - Microsoft - Holiday Season 2010 - MS can't be serious

Hey guys,

we just heard that Fable III is on its way. Peter Molyneux said we should expect a late 2010 release. We all know what this means - Xmas-time!
Furthermore we already know that Halo Reach will be a Xmas 2010-tilte as well.

And according to Epics history, a 2010 release of Gears of War 3 is very possible. But thats not all, the highly anticipated Project Natal might release late 2010 as well.

The holiday lineup for 2010 seems to be very impressive already... and in case you forgot, we just have August 09.

Think about it in possible sales:

  • Halo Reach: 7-8 million
  • Fable III: 3 million
  • Gears of War 3: 5-6 million

--> Those three titles might sell 16 million copies. Just to prove how huge this could be: This is almost 50% of the worldwide software sales of the PS3 in 2009 so far. So we are comparing 3 titles vs every game sold on the PS3 in past 8 months.

Of course, it is impossible to estimate the sales of Natal. But considering how the mainstream-, not just the gaming-, media picked this up, I am not doubting a success.

It is a long way to xmas 2010, but till then there will be several big games released, games like:

  • Crackdown 2
  • Mass Effect 2
  • Final Fantasy XIII
  • Lost Planet 2
  • Splinter Cell Conviction
  • Alan Wake

I do believe 2010 will be an awesome year, not just for the Xbox360 owners, but for PS3 owners as well. 2010 is gaming heaven. But the holiday lineup for the X360 is superb.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

The christmas line ups usually are great for the 360. This does sound good.
I'm getting anxious just waiting 2 weeks for Batman to come out as for me thats the start of the christmas line up this year and now I have to wait 12-14 months for these.

I'm not a patient fellow.



maybe i should consider about deferring uni for a year lol.



 

life is based on deception-carving up xbox live down under-π

They won't drop Reach and Gears 3 in the same season.

Agent, possibly Versus XIII, next Insomniac game Sony already have plenty for the next holiday season

THe 360's 2010 looks amazing, ME 2, Splinter Cell and Alan Wake to kick things off and Halo: Reach, Crackdown 2 and Fable 3 to finish the year. I don't know if they'll release Halo AND Gears in the same year though.



  

next year will be amazing for all consoles...

Xbox:

ME2
Alan wake
Conviction
Crackdown 2

Ps3:

God of war 3
Heavy rain
M.A.G
WKC

and many more!



Yeah I think Gears of War 3 may be a 2011 title
